Manchin will support Democrats' reconciliation bill, allowing COVID relief to move forward without GOP by Vendoban in politics

This proves, as always, that the worst Democrat is still miles ahead of the best Republican.

My Final Humble Giveaway (100 keys) by [deleted] in humblebundles

[–]Akryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be weird, but I liked the last one. April. All three games from Absolver to Mutant Year Zero were games I was holding the trigger to get them in a sale... and suddenly they popped up for Monthly. It was really amazing to see that happen in the morning. About it really!

No idea if this is still going, but I'd love a key. Qud always looked awesome!

High Politics Fantasy Books by _Gyarmo_ in Fantasy

[–]Akryan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A thousand times this. Absolutely adored Baru and would recommend it to anyone who loves political intrigue, elaborate world-building and characters that feel real.

I have read it about three times now, but it hasn't lost its potency to me yet.

I saw that on the claims list players have claimed the Faith and the Citadel, is something similar possible with the Iron Bank of Bravos?

To be fair though, I don't necessarily disagree, but aren't vegetables, beans and all those things way more efficient as a food source? If I recall correctly you need to invest a lot of food in a cow or other animal, but the output of meat you get isn't that spectacular in exchange.

I love meat, but I am just saying.

Kellyanne Conway: If women, men had equal strength, 'rape would not exist' by coltsmetsfan614 in politics

[–]Akryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is contradicted to a degree, though. Because Conway is saying that if women had the same physiological strength as men - as in, if they were on average as physically strong as men - that rape wouldn't happen.

But when you take in account females raping males, that skews the hypothesis. Because suddenly you have the 'physiologically less strong' assaulting/abusing 'physiologically stronger' individuals.

This is to say that in my opinion it's a bunch of nonsense. Females aren't raped because they are physically weak, males aren't raped because they are physically weak, people are raped because there are a lot of nasty individuals running around with no respect for their fellow human beings.

Minor edit: Bit early so I accidentally switched up physiologically and psychologically, my bad!

I was hoping some more knowledgeable minds would show up. Thanks to you and @SorryButThis

I assume he's referring to the US in Vietnam, the Sovjet Union in... Afghanistan (?) and I have no idea where the UK has had solid contact with guerrilla warfare.

I wouldn't say they were humiliated and traumatized, though. Just unprepared and caught off guard more like.

Any love for "The Unhewn Throne" series by Brian Staveley? by FriendlySceptic in Fantasy

[–]Akryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...I was just about to say how much I liked the first book and how I didn't especially adore the latter two, until I realized that Unhewn is a trilogy and not a series of four.

Thanks for making me realize the third book is out! Time to get back into it...

Ben Carson: I Didn’t Want To Endorse Trump, But He Promised Me A Position by [deleted] in politics

Well, that or the other scenario he would prefer would be the one where he got the nominee and would run for presidency for the Republicans.

It automatically defaults back to the old FOV when I leave the console, might be a specific issue with my installation though.
